x: maïs. The "cédille" ¸ (cedilla) is found only on the letter C. It changes a hard C sound (like K) into a soft C sound (like S), e.g., garçon.

In the latter case, the outcome is an open central [ä] between the two (not shown on the chart). Standard French contrasts up to 13 oral vowels and up to 4 nasal vowels. The schwa (in the center of the diagram next to this paragraph) is not necessarily a distinctive sound. Even though it often merges with one of the mid front rounded vowels, its pattern

[23] Mid vowels[edit source] Although the mid vowels contrast in certain environments, there is limited distributional overlap so they often appear in complementary distribution. Generally, close-mid vowels (/e, ø, o/) are found in open syllables, and open-mid vowels (/ɛ, œ, ɔ/) are found in closed syllables. However, there are minimal pairs: [21] open-mid /ɛ/ and close-mid /e/ contrast in final-position open syllables: allait [a.lɛ] ('was going'), vs. allé [a.le] ('gone'); likewise, op
